Update 3: According to a Persian language weblog dedicated to Dr. Jahanbegloo's release, it is indicated that Tehran university students are about to stage a massive protest to demand his release if he is not released by Sunday.

Update 5: The Canadian government has not yet reacted to this matter officially but I understand that the Canadian ambassador to Tehran is working on this very hard but let me say that this is also a tough situation for PM Harper's foreign policy.

Idea: Michael Ignatieff who is a Canadian Member of the Parliament now, talked about his friendship with Dr. Jahanbegloo in an NYTimes article on his short trip to Iran about a year ago. He mentioned that both are interested in Isaiah Berlin and he was invited to Iran by Ramin Jahanbegloo.

I wonder if we can phone his office and let him that his friend is being detained in Iran and since he is an MP, he might be able to work some thing with the government as well.
